Gabrielle Vidal, the lawyer of Cher, stated during the hearing on Friday that a payment from the trust is currently pending. She emphasized the urgent need for the establishment of a conservatorship, stating that it is crucial for Cher’s well-being.

He acknowledged issues with substance abuse and reckless spending, but clarified that he is currently receiving medical treatment, has been sober for over three months, regularly attends Alcoholics Anonymous meetings, and is willing to undergo drug testing.

On Friday, Allman appeared in court and only briefly responded to the judge’s inquiries. His legal team chose not to make a statement following the proceedings.
Cher was absent. Her lawyers did not promptly reply to a request for a statement.
